Dolly Parton Makes Huge Career Announcement on Her 78th Birthday: ‘Have a Happy Birthday for Me’


Dolly Parton made a major career announcement on her 78th birthday. 'Have a happy birthday for me,' the beloved singer told her loyal fans on Instagram.

In honor of Dolly’s big day, the Grand Ole Opry announced a special tribute night at the Ryman Auditorium featuring covers of her biggest hits by Lauren Alaina, Terri Clark, Elle King and more. During the performance, the country music icon showed off her rocker side with covers of “We Are the Champions” and “We Will Rock You.” While some took to social media to critique Dolly’s wardrobe choice, her sister Stella Parton came to her defense. “I personally thought my big sister, Dolly, was cute as hell in her Dallas Cowboys cheerleading costume at the halftime show on Thanksgiving,” Stella, 74, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the NFL game.
